Ah yes there's no company I trust more to be "thoughtful" towards players and consumers than EA and Andrew "surprise mechanics" Wilson.

In-game ads = a game I will never buy
-
Ads and abusive monetization in exchange for $70, low-effort, franchise fodder? No thanks.
-
Theres an easy solution: Just dont buy their games.
-
I’m not paying $40 for a game that pushes ads to me, much less $70.
-
Ubisoft: Stealing games like 'The Crew' Microsoft: Shutting Down Studios Sony: Mass Region-locking people from game purchases. EA: More greed with in-game ads on top of 70$ games. This next gaming crash needs to happen right now.
-
EA being EA... There's a reason why they're the worst video game company
-
They have to know that people hate ads. They're already everywhere. You can't watch or read anything online without seeing an ad. Not to mention the ads on the streets, on the radio, on the TV... People are sick of it. And now they're proposing in-game ads with complete chillness. At this point, I think it's pure trolling.
-
Fun fact: YouTube dropped in an ad right after the mock up ad of the whopper. The ad density is intense.
-
Remember the days when you just pop in a f*cking cartridge and you just sit back with just you and the controller and the game and just play? No interruptions except your dad telling you to throw away the trash or your mom yelling at you that dinner was ready. Douchebag companies nowadays make me sick.
-
I refuse to buy any game that comes with any kind of ads. Vote with your wallet; don’t feed this greed.
-
What makes me sad is the amount of people who will be outraged by this but buy the next EA title
-
I'm pretty sure I've seen an actual scientific study about how we as modern humans have developed an instinct to avoid advertisements thanks to its spread. Even if it's some sort of joke, I don't think it's any farther from the truth with these types of companies doubling down on ads.
-
Piracy: (Does nothing) Almost every company: "How do we motivate people to pirate our products?"
-
EA, it's not in the game.
-
"Thoughtful ads" is a joke! If I see an in-game ad, my mind would like to stray as far away from that BS as humanly possible...
-
Want to squash the immersion in your video game? Put an ad in there and POOF! Right back into that real world you were trying to have an escapist experience from...
-
Ads in AAA games will be the final nail in the coffin for an industry that has turned to shit ever since mobile gaming revenue surpassed console and PC combined
-
We are in a terrible timeline. Remember when you bought a game and thats it. No ads, battlepass, dlc, season pass, constant updates. Just a game
-
Putting ads in anything that is not free shoud be illegal... ads is getting out of control now..
